Upgrade to PHP7.0 and Results from PHP Compatibility Checker

So, I’m getting ready to upgrade my site to PHP7.0 and based on advice from several sound sources I ran the PHP Compatibility Checker plugin to verify if my site is ready.

Now I don’t doubt that there are others running the site on PHP7.0, but the checker nonetheless came back with 5 warnings and 2 errors that it believes could impact operations. Other than nixing my specific paths, I am posting them verbatim here:

I was hoping that I could get a response from the admin, moderator, or just others that are more adept at PHP than I if they felt any of these should be of concern. Of course, if they aid in making improvements to the Theme, all the better.

Ah yes, and for reference I’m running WP 4.7.2 and Enfold 3.8.4 (I haven’t done the very latest update yet, but I don’t think that it’s pertinent to this).

My thanks in advance.
